Is muscle atrophy related to motor neuron disease

summary

In clinical medicine, we generally believe that muscle atrophy refers to rhabdomyodystrophy, muscle volume is smaller than normal, muscle fibers become thinner or even disappear. Neuromuscular hypertrophy. In addition to the pathological changes of muscle tissue itself, muscle nutritional status is closely related to the nervous system. Spinal cord diseases often lead to muscular dystrophy and muscle atrophy. Patients with muscular atrophy, muscle weakness and long-term bedridden, easy to complicated with pneumonia and bedsore, combined with the majority of patients with bulbar paralysis symptoms, pose a great threat to the lives of patients. Let's take a look at the following.

Is muscle atrophy related to motor neuron disease

First: in addition to the treatment of patients with muscle atrophy, self-regulation is very important. Keep optimistic and happy. Intense long-term or repeated emotional changes such as mental tension, anxiety, irritability and pessimism can make the balance of excitation and inhibition process of cerebral cortex out of balance, aggravate muscle beat and make muscle atrophy develop.

Second: Patients with muscle atrophy due to autoimmune dysfunction, or the existence of some kind of immune deficiency, once the patient with muscle atrophy has a cold, the disease worsens, the course of disease prolongs, muscle weakness, muscle beat aggravates, especially in patients with bulbar palsy prone to pulmonary infection, if not timely prevention and treatment, poor prognosis, and even endanger the life of patients.

Third: Patients with muscular atrophy need high protein, high energy diet supplement, to provide the necessary materials for nerve cells and skeletal muscle cells reconstruction, in order to enhance muscle strength, muscle growth, early use of high protein, rich in vitamins and phospholipids and trace elements of food, and actively cooperate with medical diet, fasting spicy food, quit smoking and alcohol.

matters needing attention

Patients with muscle atrophy should pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Do not force functional exercise, because forced functional exercise will be due to skeletal muscle fatigue, and not conducive to the recovery of skeletal muscle function, muscle cell regeneration and repair.
